Former DNC Official-Turned-Republican Gets Put on Blast on Fox News: ‘Which Version of You Is the Real Version?’

Conservative radio host Wade Stotts launched a series of insults aimed at former DNC fundraising committee member Lindy Li on Fox News Friday afternoon.

Li and Stotts joined The Will Cain Show to discuss topics that included tariffs and the cognitive health of former President Joe Biden.

During the seven-minute segment, Stotts challenged Li’s past as a fundraiser for the Democratic Party and questioned her authenticity.

Li, a former longtime Democrat, left her party earlier this year and registered as a Republican. She found a home on Fox News criticizing Democrats in the wake of the 2024 election.

As she criticized her former party during a discussion with host Will Cain and Stotts, the latter went after her.

Cain pointed out that Democratic and Republican rhetoric on trade had shifted in recent years. He admitted he previously opposed the kinds of tariffs President Donald Trump announced this week and said Democrats previously might have supported them.

After Li called her former party “hypocritical,” Stotts directed an insult at her:

Yeah, I’m not surprised at this behavior. These are people with no core beliefs. They just say whatever’s most advantageous to them personally at that moment. You know, it’s almost as bad as a person who raised tens of millions for Kamala trying to pass herself off as a right-wing influencer… the second her team loses. So I don’t know what Lindy thinks about that, but just my opinion.

Li replied, “I’ve been on Fox News for years saying that I’m a conservative Democrat. This is not a sudden switch at all. It’s been a years-long evolution, and I’ve been warring against the leftist faction of the Democratic Party for years.

Stotts fired back:

It’s hilarious to hear Lindy Lee slamming Democrats for being duplicitous. She was a Democrat until five minutes ago. The only belief she’s kept from six months ago is that she should be in charge of moving large sums of money. And that’s it. If you think you’re going to be able to avoid conversations about your loyalty, you’re delusional.

The radio host paraphrased comments Li had made in the past and asked, “Which version of you is the real version and you know why should we listen to you now?”

Li defended herself and Cain eventually intervened to steer the conversation in another direction.

Minutes later, Stotts took another swipe at Li. Cain asked Stotts why he thought previously anti-tariff conservatives supported Trump’s trade policies. Stotts replied:

Well, because Trump is the leader of the movement, and whatever you say about the pushback from the right, none of these people who are on the right tried to raise tens of millions of dollars for the people who tried to put Trump in jail.

Li responded, “You’re just trying to ambush me this entire time. I’m not going to sink to your level. You can do whatever you want, but I’m not as malicious as you are.”
